GETTING TO KNOW YOUR NEEDS
The better we know you, the better we can serve you. That is why we start with an individual consultation with every client. Our goal is to get a better understanding of your expectations and to learn more about the property through your eyes. As a leading real estate company with an international profile, you will be provided with exceptional service that starts from day one. During this step in the process, our advisor will review every aspect of your property, ask questions and research the local market trends and activity. The steps are taken to determine key marketing points, outline the ways in which we will collaborate with you on a pricing strategy, identify your home’s target audience and gain a full understanding of your specific and unique needs. This crucial first step sets a course for you, our advisor, our brokerage and our brand to work together to sell your home at the highest price within an acceptable time frame and in a stress-free manner.
The scope of our research: • Review your property • Conduct a homeowner interview • Research market activity and trends • Identify target audience • Outline pricing strategy • Gain full understanding of unique homeowner needs

As part of the Vancouver Sun Advertising Program, we will be able to Feature your listing and showcase it to qualified buyers.

Engel & Völkers charity OUR GLOBAL MISSION TO SERVE Success is a wonderful thing but sharing that success makes it even more so. A family contact of our President and CEO, Christian Völkers drew our attention to Africa and specifically to the village of Agbetiko. We believe that our business operations are inextricably linked with a duty to act in a socially responsible way. That is why we have founded the Engel & Völkers Charity e.V. to actively support a primary school project in Togo, West Africa. The living conditions of children living in the so called “Fourth World” leave no scope for evasion and discussion. It is not just financial inter-connectedness that poses a challenge in our age of globalization but above all social and humanitarian integration. Engel & Völkers is the first cause marketing sponsor for Special Olympics campaign. This new campaign plans to inspire and mobilize youth around the world to connect with people with intellectual disabilities and create more inclusive communities, leading to a more respectful world for everyone. “Engel & Völkers is proud to be a part of developing the first Unified Generation that will fight inactivity, intolerance and injustice for people with intellectual disabilities,” said CEO of Engel & Völkers North America, Anthony Hitt. Engel & Völkers chose Special Olympics as the North American charity of choice due to its aligned brand values of passion and com-petence, the ability to work with Engel & Völkers on national and local levels, and its outstanding brand awareness and reputation. This sponsorship is the first step in the company’s ongoing commitment with its growing North American network of shops and advisors to help create more respectful communities.
Special Olympics is a global movement that unleashes the human spirit through the transformative power and joy of sports, every day around the world.
